It was my second year judging Taste Junior competition. Grand St offers youth culinary programming through The Sylvia Center, which educates kids and teens on nutrition and well-being. Five teams competed for a chance to win a bunch of goodies and feature their dish at Grand St’s annual Taste of LES event, which returns on April 30th.
Grand St is a really amazing organization and ticket proceeds go towards the many programs they offer! The event is also one of my favorites in the city; it’s so well done and features a TON of fabulous restaurants. Use my code DISHINGDAILY for discounted tickets!
